That'll do nicely, thanks Tony
Love this thread, just bought the BMW cable (or, rather, fake BMW cable) from Amazon. Does the job brilliantly and still £50 cheaper than the Seat version... what a rip off that is!
Still, amused that the CUP socket is a £300 extra were you to buy a BMW and the driver still has to buy the cable in addition.

Haven't tried the lead as yet as it hasn't arrived, but MP3 tracks play perfectly from a memory stick in the USB port (but it does stall now and again), have you tried this??
same for all cables I believe folder navigation on HU but that's easy with media system
glad your happy with it

Tony, if you take the mix off you may be able to step back tracks too, mine only does it now and again with the mix on but every time with it off. Just a thought.
Thanks Eric I'll try that 
Ok tried it it works
skip back press button twice in quick succession
works with left/right buttons on left side steering wheel and up/down buttons on right side steering wheel

I threw money at the ipod in the car problem. Got an ipod dedicated Alpine head unit fitted into my Mk1 Cupra. All the menus work on the head unit, all the track info comes up, and it also has cd and radio. An ipod with a dead battery sits permanently attached to the lead, hidden in my glove box. Threw more money at it when I changed cars and had it taken out of the Mk1 and put into the Mk2, with the horribly expensive lead to also make the steering wheel controls work. Originally tried the tape gadgets and fm gadgets, and got fed up with how Mickey Mouse they were. It is fantastic having all that music in the car, sounding good, and fully controllable! But I guess not everyone has the money to throw at it.
If you have the CUP in the centre console USB and aux it works
If you only have AUX in the centre console just get an AUX lead plug into headphone socket and get a car charger (this config probably won't work with Steering controls)
the lead is fairly short around 200mm but with the CUP that's all you need

Tried the BMW/Mini lead from my missus' Mini the other day. Works perfectly!!
Only issue is that I get a message on the iPhone4 saying that "this accessory is not optimized for use....." Does anyone else get this warning?
